“Charging P15 per withdrawal is already burdensome. Doubling the fee would be onerous on workers receiving their wages through payroll ATM accounts,” paliwanag ni Magtubo.

Tinawag pa niyang “highway robbery” ang planong pagtaas ng ATM fees.

“P15 is almost 3% of the daily minimum wage in NCR (National Capital Region). Worse it is around 4% of the daily of a minimum wage earner in the Cavite economic zone. Doubling the ATM fee would mean banks taking 6 to 8% of the minimum wage of workers per withdrawal. This is highway r0bbery,” ani Magtubo.
